Honor, Face, and Dignity
-
Cultures high on dignity tend to emphasize individual values in their own self rather than value from others. Dignity focuses on internal strengths and fits well with market economies. Example: United States
-
Cultures with honor exist in areas with lower government and policing of citizens. Without strong police and laws, citizens must protect themselves and their families. Example: Latin American countries
-
Cultures of face are seen in areas with hierarchy and cooperation. Citizens protect one another's image and and obey authority figures. Example: Japan or China.

Analyzing Cultural Transmission
A child named Kai is at a community gathering and reaches to take food from a shared platter with their hands. Kai's grandmother gently stops them, explaining, 'In our family, we always use the serving utensils first to show respect for others.' She then hands Kai the serving tongs and smiles when Kai uses them. Later, Kai's parent praises them, saying, 'I was so proud to see you using the tongs today.' Which statement best analyzes how culture is being transmitted in this situation?
